Are you an electrically qualified Engineer looking for something more varied than a conventional maintenance role?
This is a rare opportunity to join the Facilities team at one of the UK's leading sporting and live entertainment venues. Alongside planned and reactive maintenance, you'll support temporary electrical installations, event power, and technical delivery for concerts, sporting fixtures, and major public events.
It's a genuinely varied position combining electrical engineering, general facilities maintenance, event support, and responsibility during live event nights.
The Role
Working alongside the Facilities Manager, you will help keep the venue, infrastructure, and building services safe, reliable, and fully operational.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Carrying out planned and reactive electrical maintenance
- Completing electrical installations and infrastructure improvements
- Installing and managing temporary electrical supplies for events
- Supporting event power and audio-visual requirements
- Managing technical delivery during sporting fixtures and event nights
- Completing general non-electrical maintenance and PPM tasks
- Taking responsibility for designated electrical systems and assets
- Supervising maintenance operatives and facilities support staff when required
- Managing contractors, suppliers, and electrical materials
- Using building and asset management systems to record completed work
- Producing risk assessments, safe working procedures, and technical reports
- Supporting apprentices with their training and development
- Ensuring compliance with electrical, health and safety, and statutory requirements

IOSH Managing Safely, First Aid, IPAF, PASMA, ECS/JIB, or forklift qualifications would be advantageous. An additional qualification in plumbing, heating, ventilation, or another non-electrical trade would also be welcomed.
A Different Kind of Engineering Role
This is not a standard factory or commercial-building maintenance position. You'll work in a fast-moving live venue where priorities can change quickly, and engineering performance directly affects events, customers, and performers.
The 40-hour working week requires flexibility and will include days, evenings, weekends, and bank holidays according to the event schedule.
You'll need to remain calm under pressure, manage multiple priorities, and communicate confidently with colleagues, contractors, event teams, and customers.
Why Apply?
- Salary of circa £42,000 per annum
- Permanent, full-time position
- Work within a major sporting and entertainment venue
- Varied maintenance, installation, and event-engineering responsibilities
- Opportunity to develop specialist event-power experience
- Supportive and improvement-focused Facilities team
